The Energy Caper

In The Energy Caper, or Nixon in the Sky with Diamonds, a group of idealistic twenty-somethings navigates a vibrant alternate universe where Richard Nixon's presidency diverges dramatically from our own. Confronted with an energy crisis due to the Arab oil embargo, Nixon discovers a revolutionary plant that could lead America to energy independence. The story unfolds as he grapples with the irony that this promising solution is simultaneously the target of his "war on drugs." With ambition and audacity, Nixon attempts to redefine his legacy by uniting conservatives in an unprecedented push for legalization, setting the stage for a wild political adventure.
